A conversation with DJ and Worldtown Co-founder Ben ArsenalWhy "Royals"? My good friend Isaac Jordan came through my studio to check out acapellas. He suggested I check out this song by a singer named Lorde and it went from there.What inspired the mix? I wanted to make something funky and groovy— that hit hard as a late night beat.What influences are we hearing?Sexy, deep house meets the Worldtown sound, which is always a mix of global, funky rhythms.
